CIMP Charity Food Fair

Yet another highlights of CIMP activities -- CIMP Charity Food Fair!

Thanks to the constant hard work and dedication of Ms Evelyn Wong, Dr. Sharlene Lee and Ms Janie Chan, CIMP parents, students and teachers are doing their bits of the community service by channeling their culinary interests into humanitarian work.

This has always been my favorite event of the semester not because of the spectacular spread of food featured, but more of the fact that charity unites people.

Indeed, in our ever so busy life that we tend to ignore the dire need of the unprevileged but focus on life's littlest flaws.

My first visit to the Taman Megah Handicapped and Disabled Children's Home was simply surreal. First, little boy opened the gate and welcomed me with a smile and slight shyness and then some of the children walked towards me wanting some companionship and attention.

There was a sudden emotion surge in my heart as I pondered why these children that had so little to be thankful for but have so much love and joy to cherish. It triggered my water works when the stories of these children's unfolded.

I left the Center with a lesson that we have so much more be thankful for if we could overlook some of the slightest imperfection in each of us.

CIMP Charity Food Fair benefits the Taman Megah Handicapped and Disabled Children's Home as the Center expands its capacity to shelter more underpriviledged children.

This charity event will be held at Sunway University College Cafeteria on 23rd and 24th April 2008, please share your bit of social philantrophy with us.
